The eagles begin the trek to the elusive super bowl title we hope. Last year we didnt know what to expect from chip kelly and his offense, now we do. That doesnt mean defenses will have it solved. I think even this year we are more advanced, putting in more stuff. So it ought to be interesting to see how we put everything together. But i think we had some great work up until this point, and we want to continue to get betteribetter ibetter. I think we are ready for sunday. Ron jaworski feels the eagles can be better this season, one of the reasons, simple. Chip kelly. I have incredible respect for what he was able to do in that one year. And personally, i think he will get better this year. New concepts, new wrinkles, new players. What do you do with a sproles combined with mccoy. And Jordan Matthews replacing desean jackson. New tools in the tools box. And last year we saw what chip kelly could do with the tools he has and now he has new tools. And i think the offense may be just as good, maybe better in some areas. Statistically the defense will never be good, they will be on the field for a lot of snaps. When you run like the eagles run, they will score quickly or be off the field. And the defense will see a lot of snaps and the number are irrelevant. When you look at how they play in the preseason, much more cohesive. The eagles are a very good football team. I dont think theyre quite an elite team yet. But a lot of the pieces of now in place where this team, not only be a playoff team but go deeper into the playoffs, and maybe the super bowl.

A great pitching matchup between strasbourg and jerome williams. Williams acquired after waivers and he has been lights out. And e. R. A. 2. 03.
